On Development of Modern Software Interface to Glenn Research Center’s Communication Analysis Suite

NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program analyzes space communication channels involving satellites in any Earth orbit and deep space for a multitude of operations. Specifically, the SCaN program will power the future of lunar communications in the next decade and beyond. A web based user interface of the static link analysis component of the Glenn Research Center’s Communication Analysis Suite (GCAS) was developed. It is operated through a newly designed front-end application with an easy to use and intuitive web-based user interface that provides accurate satellite communications link analysis capabilities.
